Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2

The 4th of July, Independence Day for the United States of America, is historically a day of celebration. We commemorate our nation's independence from England with fireworks, picnics, and parades. It's a happy time! We love our freedom!

In Luke 17:20-37 we read about Jesus discussing the coming of God’s kingdom on earth. He said his return would be sudden and without warning. As Jesus was speaking with his disciples he told them when the son of man returns you will know it beyond all doubt.

Our thoughts in recent days have dealt with Father’s Day and honoring our fathers. Before you can be a good father, you must be a good man. Thank God for the good men we have today and may their number increase.
